Let us consider for a moment the duality of Monster Hunter.
And that’s just the basic stuff.
ButMonster Hunter Wildsgoes even further.
That’s not to say Wilds is an open-world Monster Hunter, though.
Eventually, biomes grow even more frenetic as Wilds piles on rarer monsters, more exotic combinations.
Even the corpses seemingly rot over time!
That’s not to say Wilds is completely without structure.
All this would be a bit unbearable, frankly, if the fighting wasn’t so exhilarating.
Starting with those monsters, Wilds' varied menagerie is a triumph.
On the whole, though, its creature design rarely stumbles.
There have been smart refinements to combat, too.
But it still offers a wonderfully varied toolset for those eager to explore.
